Does this drive work with time capsule?

100% compatible. Lol, but seriously it's still a decent drive. You won't notice any difference compared to a newer 64mb 7200 rpm drive. Just don't buy it used.

I don't know what Time Capsule is. It's a hard drive. I does what hard drives are supposed to do quite well. It stores and retrieves data.

I have a newer Airport Extreme Time Capsule and it works fine with that too. I am networking the WD Book through my Time Capsule so I can share the drive via WiFi for backing up my and my wife's iMacs using Time Machine. It works great. Took me a couple of minutes to find and go through the mounting procedure but after that it is working just as it should. Here's a link to the instructions on Apple's site: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204664

Yes, I use this with my Time machine and have had a few full successful restores with it. I have a few of these drives and they have been great!

How you perform a backup isn't unique to this drive. It does not come with any software. You'll have to check your operating system's instructions. I'm guessing you are using Windows. If you are using the Apple OS, Time Machine takes care of all the work.

well.. i have windows, so iam not sure about mac.. the disk works like a lan hard drive.. so it should work with time machine. The software is useful to set the configurations, just that.

Not sure what your question is, but my drive failed repeatedly when I tried to copy the files from an old drive. I sent it back, got my refund, and bought a Seagate. I was using it with an old Mac OSX.

Yes. Time Capsule one is specific. Base station mount is smaller. Difficult to find. Check outside of Amazon unfortunelately. I found mine on eBay.

Frankly, I don't think it even can be said to "work" at all. Even if one accepts the terrible Windows software and the glllaaaciallll transfer speeds, mine up and spontaneously reset itself and *lost all saved data*. If you're already in the Mac ecosystem anyway, why look anywhere else than a Time Capsule? Designed from the get-go to work with the OS, integrates wonderfully and has fabulous (well, compared to Seagate) support (if you're near an Apple store).

Not unless you have IOMEGA zip disks you need to access. As others have said, it's old technology. You probably want a flash drive that is compatible with current computers.

Yes it will, but the mobilelite app will not allow video , the best app is "files connect" but this cost £3.99 but that also gives the option of making any hard drive a network drive so making the mobile lite redundant , if I had known this I would not of brought the mobile lite, just the great "files connect" app which is free to download to any PC/mac to allow file sharing and making any hard drive connected useable anywhere in world . Hope this helps. Save your money for the app. Or best way is to get an apple time capsule that take work out of any setting up , just down load airport free app and it connects straight away , Yes it will, but the mobilelite app will not allow video , the best app is "files connect" but this cost £3.99 but that also gives the option of making any hard drive a network drive so making the mobile lite redundant , if I had known this I would not of brought the mobile lite, just the great "files connect" app which is free to download to any PC/mac to allow file sharing and making any hard drive connected useable anywhere in world .

I am not familiar with the Time Machine feature, however if it allows you to either show content from a USB data source or store content via USB to storage device, then YES the Seagate Expansion drive will work with your TV. I use mine as an external drive/storage device connected to my Dish DVR to store and play programs recorded off my Dish receiver. The only problem I found with Dish is that their video format will not play on my computer, only through my Dish DVR. I did buy a second Seagate 1TB expansion drive that I can store movies, pictures, music, etc., from my computer and plug the USB cable directly into my Samsung Smart TV and play any media format from the Seagate external on my TV.

From my experience, you just refuse Time Machine for the device once, and then you can use it as a normal backup/file transfer device. Although it is true that I reformatted the drive to work with Windows and Mac using eXFAT file system.

Yes, it would still work. The Time capsule can setup a wireless network even if you don't have an internet connection.

No. The Time Capsule cannot do both a Time Machine backup and backup other folders. However, what I do and it woks very well: I do Time Machine backups to the Time Capsule, and plug an external drive into he USB port of the Time Capsule. A WD My Passport 1 or 2 TB woks fine. All this can be wireless or wired. However, the Time Capsule should be your network wireless router connected by ethernet to your modem, even if the modem is wireless. If you have AppleCare on your iMac, let hem lead you through the set up. I did. I have two TCs.

actually I spoke with a Mac genius who said that you can access the same folders on Time Capsule from several different computers. Its not real time sharing, but it'll do the trick.

yes. works with all. Better off buy a USB memory OTG drive. This is way to slow.

Yes, but I'm not sure if the time capsule software works with PC's yet. The time capsule will show up as a physical drive from your PC under the network tab. There are many other programs such as integro backup pro that will let you do this though.
